SB 5630 Washington Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Continuing to provide payments to support farm fuel users and transporters for exempt fuel under the Washington climate commitment act.

SB 5630 amends Washington's climate commitment act to clarify which entities must report emissions under the state's program. It establishes a 25,000 metric ton carbon dioxide equivalent threshold for coverage, affecting farm fuel users, transporters, electricity importers, fossil fuel suppliers, and natural gas companies. The bill defines specific criteria for when these entities become "covered" (e.g., based on emissions from facilities or operations) and outlines transition rules for new or modified operations. It does not address payments to farm fuel users, as the title suggests, but focuses solely on defining reporting obligations under the existing climate program. This procedural amendment ensures consistent application of emissions reporting requirements across covered sectors.
